In this article, we study the notion of semi-stability and the Harder-Narasimhan filtration from a game-theoretic point of view. This allows us to provide a unified proof for the existence and uniqueness of the Harder-Narasimhan filtration…

We introduce a notion of stability for sheaves with respect to several polarisations that generalises the usual notion of Gieseker-stability. We prove, under a boundedness assumption, which we show to hold on threefolds or for rank two…

Given a certain kind of linear representation of a reductive group, referred to as a quasi-symmetric representation in recent work of \v{S}penko and Van den Bergh, we construct equivalences between the derived categories of coherent sheaves…

Let X be a smooth projective variety and let G be a connected reductive group, both defined over a field of characteristic 0. Given a faithful representation $\rho$ of G into a product of general linear groups, we define a moduli stack of…

When a reductive group $G$ acts linearly on a complex projective scheme $X$ there is a stratification of $X$ into $G$-invariant locally closed subschemes, with an open stratum $X^{ss}$ formed by the semistable points in the sense of…

We develop a valuation-theoretic framework for studying tangent cones of torsion-free sheaves on algebraic varieties. To analyze these objects, we introduce a slope stability theory, including the Harder-Narasimhan filtrations, for finitely…

We show that the ``classical'' Harder-Narasimhan filtration associated to a non semistable vector bundle $E$ can be viewed as a limit object for the action of the gauge group in the direction of an optimal destabilizing vector. This vector…

We review the notion of Gieseker stability for torsion-free Higgs sheaves. This notion is a natural generalization of the classical notion of Gieseker stability for torsion-free coherent sheaves. We prove some basic properties that are…

We construct new moduli spaces of quiver representations with multiplicities, i.e. over rings of truncated power series. This includes moduli of framed representations and analogues of Nakajima quiver varieties. Our construction relies on…

We study three instability stratifications of the stack of twisted Higgs bundle of a fixed rank and degree on a smooth complex projective curve. The first is the Harder-Narasimhan (HN) stratification, defined by the instability type of the…

Here I give a direct proof that smooth curves with distinct marked points are asymptotically Hilbert stable with respect to a wide range of parameter spaces and linearizations. This result can be used to construct the coarse moduli space of…

For a reductive group $G$, Harder-Narasimhan theory gives a structure theorem for principal $G$ bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. A bundle is either semistable, or it admits a canonical parabolic reduction whose associated Levi…

Unstable holomorphic bundles can be described algebraically by Harder-Narasimhan filtrations. In this note we show how such filtrations correspond to the existence of special metrics defined by Hermitian-Einstein inequalities.

We develop a Harder-Narasimhan theory for Kisin modules generalizing a similar theory for finite flat group schemes due to Fargues. We prove the tensor product theorem, i.e., that the tensor product of semi-stable objects is again…

For modules over an artin algebra a linear stability condition is given by a "central charge" and a nonlinear stability condition is given by the wall-crossing sequence of a "green path". Finite Harder-Narasimhan stratifications of the…

We study a collection of stability conditions (in the sense of Schmitt) for complexes of sheaves over a smooth complex projective variety indexed by a positive rational parameter. We show that the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of a complex…

We define canonical refinements of Harder-Narasimhan filtrations and stratifications in moduli theory, generalising and relating work of Haiden-Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pandit and Kirwan. More precisely, we define a canonical stratification on…

We establish an equivalence between the stable category of coherent sheaves (satisfying a mild restriction) on a projective space and the homotopy category of a certain class of minimal complexes of free modules over the exterior algebra…

When the action of a reductive group on a projective variety has a suitable linearisation, Mumford's geometric invariant theory (GIT) can be used to construct and study an associated quotient variety. In this article we describe how…

We study the relationship between two stratifications on parameter spaces for coherent sheaves and for quiver representations: a stratification by Harder-Narasimhan types and a stratification arising from the geometric invariant theory…
